The US Invasion of Grenada. A 1983 United States–led invasion of the Caribbean island nation of Grenada, which has a population of about 100,000 and is located 160 kilometres (99 mi) north of Venezuela, that resulted in a U.S. victory within a matter of weeks. Codenamed Operation Urgent Fury, it was triggered by an armed revolution and overthrow of the sitting government by the Grenadian Marxist-Leninist vanguard party ‘New Jewel Movement’ with support of Cuban forces.  

The U.S. Army’s Rapid Deployment Force, which consisted of the 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions, 82nd Airborne Division, U.S. Marines, U.S. Army Delta Force, and U.S. Navy SEALs constituted the 7,600 troops from the United States and Jamaica. 

The U.S-led force defeated Grenadian resistance after a low-altitude airborne assault by the 75th Rangers on Point Salines Airport on the southern end of the island, and a Marine helicopter and amphibious landing on the northern end at Pearl’s Airfield shortly afterward.

The date of the invasion is now a national holiday in Grenada, called Thanksgiving Day.
